An interesting test in this vein that I read about in a comment on here is generating a 13 hour clock—I tried just about every prompting trick and clever strategy I could come up with across many image models with no success. I think there's so much training data of 12 hour clocks that just clobbers the instructions entirely. It'll make a regular clock that skips from 11 to 13, or a regular clock with a plaque saying "13 hour clock" underneath, but I haven't gotten an actual 13 hour clock yet.




It was ugly. But I got ChatGPT to cheat and do it

This is the SVG it created.

Right you are. It can do 26 hours just fine, but appears completely incapable when the layout would be too close to a normal clock.

I thought giving it a setting would help, but just skip that first response to see what I mean.


That's a 24 hour clock that skips some numbers and puts other numbers out of order.
